[SOLVED] Unable to watch videos or download files with Opera browser - Kindle Fire General

Hi, got a problem with browser Opera: while trying to watch a video on youtube fro exemple, it doesn't start, it says " not supported: the used protocol in vnd.youtube ******* vndapp=youtube_mobile&vndclient=mv-google&vndel=watch&vnddnc=1 is not supported.
More than that got also problem while trying to download files from web pages: th download doesn't start, saying "transfert not possible"
does someone knows what's the problem?
For info I allready got flash player 11 installed and enabled flash on opera's settings

just use dolphin hd browser - much better in my opinion

I'll give it a try. btw I tried ninesky also and video works. for the downloads the only problem was sdcard space.
But why opera doesn't work for videos?

Hmm,
I might be wrong, but as far as I know, opera uses its own servers (like a proxy) to reduce the traffic used. They pack the pages in a special way, and on your device, opera browser unpack it. This kinda tricky solution has a side-effect, that video-steam after being packed at server can't be decoded at your device (I suscect the same concerns downloads, as they are saved as is).
BTW there is no reason to use opera, as your kindle fire supports only wifi so no expensive mobile traffic

because opera seems faster than other breowsers to me. btw I've fixed the problem by setting desktop mode on opera's settings.

Can't play any flash videos

Hi,
I've just installed the latest WM6 rom on my 8525 and also installed Flash player 7 along with the java addons. I've tried viewing videos from youtube and mtv from both internet explorer and opera mini 4 beta 3 but any video i click it always says flash player not installed and click here to go to adobe etc.... Can someone help me configure it so I can play flash videos? thanks
cmon, somebody has to have an answer for this. I can't load any videos on standard pages for myspace, mtv, youtube, etc. it says javascript is either turned off or you dont have the right player. I downloaded flashplayer 7. Running mini opera 4 beta 3 and pocket IE as well as picsel browser.
Mobile browsers not designed for video
Neither of the browsers you are trying are capable of displaying flash based videos. The Opera Mini will probably never support them because it is a Java based browser for use on most any phone. There is a Windows Mobile Opera that is in beta, last I heard, that claims to support flash based videos, however the only thing I could get it to do was crash my 8525, forcing me to soft reset, at which time I then uninstalled it completely. As you will see in the instructions at one of the links below, there is one more file you can download that will play the videos, which seems to be accomplished through the link from internet explorer triggering the thirdparty app to open and strat trying to play the video.
You could try the instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=326225, however I have not tried them and can not confirm for you if they work.
The way I currently play these type files is using a program called AvotMV. AvotMV has a internet browser type feel to it, and when you play the videos it will automatically play them "full" screen (in portrait mode). If you want to try AvotMV, you can download it for free from the developers here here http://www.avotmedia.com/
the tcpmp and flashbundle works beautifuly. especially on a highspd connection. the newest version givesthe choice dowloading or streaming it. You will have to unistall flash7 as it will clash with flashbundle plugin. I posted awhile back if some could figure out how to get them to work together or at least independently on different browsers because the tmpcp flash plugin will only play videos not other flash content.
That explains it...
I have the official flash 2.1 from adobe for WM5/6 which allows me to use one of the spinning cube flash controllers. Would be nice if someone could figure it out because this does not look like it will work for me until a fix is made.

is there any skyfire version for HD?

yesterday i downloaded a skyfire version for my brother's n95.the only thing i have to say is tha is by far the best browser i have seen.i tried opening pages that i couldn't open before with the old browser because of the missing plugin and it worked.
here is the prog's description.
"Skyfire is a free, downloadable mobile browser that gives you a web browsing experience exactly like PC browsing. For the first time ever, on your phone, you can watch any video, connect with friends, listen to music, shop, and browse the web using the full-featured PC versions of your favorite websites. With Skyfire, mobile browsing just works - speedy page loads, full video, images and audio.
The search feature is awesome.

problem viewing java and flash based websites like youtube and camgirlslive

i searched the web but i could not find a way to make thetouch hd opera to work...i can not view camgirlslive and youtube and all the other websites like that....the only way is to use skyfire browser....does anyone know anyway to use opera or mini to work properly...
The opera browser is working it is just that that there is not a windows mobile flash plug-in capable of viewing that content at the moment.
However, adobe has said they will be bringing a full flash capable soon to the platform (click here).
Skyfire at the moment is the only one that will have reasonable flash support. For java based website's try Opera Mini at mini.opera.com.

Youtube links in the Browser question

I'm new to Windows Mobile and just got the HD2 on T-Mobile US.
On my iPhone I was able to click a youtube link in an email or webpage and it opened the youtube app and played the video.
How do I do this in Windows mobile?
I even tried copying the link and then opening the youtube app and pasting it there...didn't work.
I haven't been able to view any video links yet.
Also, I can't seem to figure out how to sign-out of Google Talk.
In the HELP menu it says to select EXIT to sign out. I don't have an option to select EXIT anywhere.
Thanks,
Joe
i haven't been able to figure that out myself , but there is a way.
download skyline browser and make that your default web browser. skyline has the flash you need in order to view YouTube links.
Or you can install fixoperaflash from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544770
Works fine for me.
@rickyoon do you mean skyfire ??
